Mike and Amanda's Wedding

My nephew Mike married his beautiful bride, Amanda,

on the same Saturday as First Communion and Baptism!

We were unable to attend the wedding, but 

were at their wedding reception

and it was fabulous!

Warning - a little photo heavy on this post!

Such a beautiful couple!  

Mike came down with the flu a day or two earlier and

was not really feeling his best.

Here he is with his Mom (my twin) having a dance!

The reception was so much fun!  

The photo booth was a blast - and no one was

participating until we started!

Don't you love Rickster in his bow tie

while the rest of us are goofing off!

We had the best time. 

 It's been ages since we've had

a wedding to attend. 
Seems like most family gatherings

in the last few years have sadly been funerals.

We were delighted to have a happy occasion.

There was dancing!!

Philip and his 4 oldest kiddos attended and had a blast!

They had a huge variety of Bundt Cakes instead

of a traditional wedding cake!

More cake sounds right to me!

Rickster and the boys - Philip and Connor
with little Dorothy as photobomber,

The happy couple spent their honeymoon in Hawaii!

Congrats to Mike and Amanda!
